Lol, do you even know what allah ackbar means?
Allah is the greatest (sp?) right?
Allahu Akbar is Arabic for "God is the greatest." Akbar is the elative form of the adjective kab+r (great, big, important), meaning "greater, greatest, or very great." The elative combines the meanings of comparative (greater than) and superlative (most great). However, the elative is only explicitly a term of comparison when used with the preposition min, e.g. All
hu akbar min mala'ikatihi, "Allah is greater than His angels", All
hu Akbar min kulli shay "God is greater than all". Without a term of comparison, the elative conveys the superlative quality "greatest", "supreme."
